So, I gave my boss the quote for another 3 year license with ESET (we have about 90 workstations and 10 servers, so about $3,000 for the quote). My boss, while a very effective business man, knows basically nothing about IT. This is what he comes back with:
"Are you sure this will be the best solution in 3 years? You know, with the way technology is changing...."
I told him yes, ESET is a great company and there's no reason to think they won't be in 3 years. To which he says, "No, I mean will we need anti-virus in 3 years."....So, after my initial shock, I reply with an emphatic, "YES" as long as we are using Windows, we will (and we will be). But then I thought, hey, who knows?! If Microsoft is so incredibly benevolent to just give away Windows 10, maybe it will have decent AV built in...
How pie-in-the-sky would that be?!
